ALUKON TWO LOCATIONS Since its founding in 1974, ALUKON has become one of the lea- ding suppliers of roller shutters, garage doors/roller doors, sun protection and insect protection in Europe. What began as a regi- onal craft enterprise with three employees in a small warehouse has today grown into a state-of-the-art medium-sized indust- rial enterprise with almost 500 employees. ALUKON has been producing at two locations since 2018. In the Upper Franconian town of Konradsreuth and the Swabian town of Haigerloch. The broad product range, paired with an unusually large vertical range of manufacture, allows for a large number of variants that meet even highly unusual customer requirements.
IMAGE | 05 Depending on their own capacity utilisation, production options and marketing concepts, customers can decide for themselves whether they want to purchase individual system components, semi-finished or finished components. We supply our European markets with our own fleet of trucks. ALUKON offers its partners extensive marketing and sales support as well as product trai- ning at the ALUKON Academy. ALUKON has been part of the Hörmann Group since 2013.

ALUKON AS A FULL-RANGE SUPPLIER | 7 ALUKON AS A FULL-RANGE SUPPLIER IN THE FIELD OF EXTERNAL VENETIAN BLIND SYSTEMS TOO We offer architects, retailers and processors all ex- ternal Venetian blind components from our own in-house development and production facilities. This makes ALUKON a full-range supplier in this segment as well, where boxes, blind systems, guide rails and slat packages can be purchased from indi- vidual system components to the finished element. The new ALUKON external Venetian blind system is available in all systems, such as front-mounted and top-mounted boxes and external Venetian blinds. In addition to technical improvements in terms of design, such as the predefined folding of the conductor cord as well as easy-to-install top rail supports and tape spools, the system is above all characterised by the optimised stacking behaviour of the slat packages. The staggered stacking of the slats, the particularly narrow bottom rail and the top rail support with a low overall height make our external Venetian blind package one of the best on the market. The top rail, which is open underneath, makes the product even easier to maintain. As the design is of particular importance for Venetian blinds, the slats are available in lots of on-trend colours. All visible aluminium components, such as the guide rails and box systems or blinds, are coated in the RAL colour of your choice.
RAFF-E BOX SYSTEM VENETIAN BLINDS | 9 RAFF-E BOX SYSTEM VENETIAN BLINDS FUNCTIONALITY FOR FAST INSTALLATION ALUKON RAFF-E is a state-of-the-art sun protection system that can be measured and installed as easily as a front-mounted Venetian blind and used like an external Venetian blind facade solution. RAFF-E is available in three box heights, with which all com- mercially available external Venetian blind systems can be installed. The box can optionally be equipped with integrated insect protection and offers not only technical but also optical advantages. Thanks to the concealed blind fixing, no screws or rivets are visible at the front. At the sides, the box is flush with the guide rails. This achieves a homogenous appearance wi- thout any details which detract from the look. The aluminium guide rail, which features protection from driving rain, can easily be plastered over. The blind stands out thanks to its optimal stacking behaviour. Measurement and installation is possible without in-depth technical product knowledge. Simple and quick installation thanks to the plug-in system. The slat package is already integrated in the box and the guide rails only have to be plugged in and mounted in front of the window.
FALL PROTECTION FOR FLOOR-TO-CEILING WINDOWS | 11 FALL PROTECTION FOR FLOOR-TO-CEILING WINDOWS INGENIOUS SOLUTION FOR ALL FRONT-MOUNTED ROLLER SHUTTERS From mid-2020, ALUKON front-mounted roller shut- ters can be equipped with a glass fall protection sys- tem. With this feature, we are providing a visually appealing fall protection solution for floor-to-ceiling window doors that is not noticeable. To achieve this, a 16 mm LSG glass panel is inserted and fixed in an additional groove in the guide rail behind the roller shutter curtain by the customer. The discreet glass edge protection is coated in the same colour as the rail and blends into the overall appearance of the facade in a harmonious manner. The glass fall protection allows an unobstructed view to the outside and no additional fixing points on the facade are required. The fastening for the robust multi-part guide rails on the window is con- cealed. When the roller shutter is closed, the fall protection system is no longer visible from the outside, which achieves a uniform appearance in the facade area. ALUKON fall protection is suitable for floor-to-cei- ling windows, as well as multi-leaf windows made of PVC, wood, wood/aluminium and aluminium. All ALUKON roller shutter profiles and all extruded box shapes can be used. When installing the fall protec- tion, it is also possible to insulate the back of the roller shutter box.
TRADE FAIR INNOVATION 2020 ALUKON overhead doors are equipped with a new drive slide with integrated anti-lift device. The corner guides are made of black plastic. The lintel cover is equipped with a rubber lip which seals the area between the lintel cover and armour coating. The suspension brackets can be used universally for wall and ceiling mounting and can be shortened to the required size. Drive, opera- ting accessories and other parts remain unchanged.
ROLLER AND OVERHEAD DOORS | 13 ROLLER AND OVERHEAD DOORS NEW GENERATION OF DOORS We have further developed the ALUKON roller and overhead doors in terms of technology and appea- rance, paying particular attention to ease of instal- lation and operation. The assembly of the roller door has once again been simplified considerably because the blind is now retracted using assembly belts. From now on, the roller doors are equipped with electronic drives and therefore have an automatic end position recogni- tion. These drives are available with and without an emergency crank handle. The corresponding rigid crank handle is available in lengths of 140 or 220 cm. The components of the lower rail safety edge are also new: OSE, terminal box, transmitter and recei- ver. Thanks to these new parts, the transmitter and receiver of the OSE can be easily connected via RJ plugs in the terminal box. Both the user-friendly operating accessories and the roller door control are still provided. Roller shutters with a width of up to 520 cm are now equipped with a narrow end rail, which is finished in black to match the OSE and thus provides a lovely finish to the lower part. For widths exceeding 520 cm, a higher and more stable end rail is supplied with armour paint. To compensate for garage floors sloping down on one side, we offer a slanted end rail individually adapted to customer requirements. This can be used in the full door width and up to a maximum height difference of 300 mm.

ALUKON DIGITAL - THE DIRECT INTERFACE CONSTRUCTION SOFTWARE | 15 ALUKON DIGITAL - THE DIRECT INTERFACE CONSTRUCTION SOFTWARE FOR FAST MODERN COSTING AND ORDERING Many of our customers already use various electronic ways to place orders with ALUKON. System processors use the openTRANS® interface to order, directly in their own inventory management system, components such as profiles, panels and end pieces as well as cut-to- size parts from ALUKON. The MoveIT@ISS retailer software has been successfully used for years for the configuration and automated ordering of prefabricated elements. Since the end of last year, users of the KLAES window construction software have been able to configure and order ALUKON products directly in their own system. The direct connection offered by the integration with the ALUKON configurator saves users significant time during the order process and allows secure order entry with plausibility checks and secure pricing. The creation and maintenance of master data for the ALUKON products in the window construction software is no longer necessary, as these are automa- tically provided online via the interface. This means that the master data is always up-to- date and all technically possible variants can be configured quickly and easily. Item texts and prices are automatically integrated in the KLAES customer documents with 2D sketches. All ALUKON products in the sun protection, roller shutters, gates and insect protection ranges can be entered in this system. We are currently preparing and testing connections with further software solutions such as 3E, SBH, Riposte and Cantor and a company’s own B2B web shop, and these will be available soon for ALUKON customers. The specialised ALUKON DIGITAL TEAM is available to support our customers with these interfaces. ALUKON interface with automatic master data maintenance

INSECT RESPECT® | 17 INSECT RESPECT ® PIONEERING SIGN OF RESPECT FOR INSECTS INSECT RESPECT® is the world‘s first quality mark for neutral insect repellents. It is awarded exclusively to products for indoor use, of which the manufacturers provide species-appropriate offsetting in outdoor are- as for the insects being controlled. Not only its phi- losophy in terms of its respect for insects is unique. INSECT RESPECT® is also pioneering in terms of imple- mentation: offsetting is not only possible from when the products are sold, but is ensured from the very beginning during the manufacturing process. Con- sumers thus have a full guarantee that control and nformation un preservation are in harmony. ore i de m r: w e Se ww ALUKON insect protection products do not contain .alukon.com/ any insecticides and are therefore a good choice for keeping the inside space largely free of insects, even with open windows. We have committed to this project t ins ec ek in order to contribute to and support the preservation ten schu res p tz/insect- of the biodiversity of insects. The principle of INSECT RESPECT® is very simple: to compensate for the lack of habitat or insect control measures, extensive insect-friendly flat-roof gre- enery is installed in residential or industrial areas. New green flat roofs are created or existing ones are upgraded. Within the framework of this project, an environmentally-friendly and insect-friendly green roof was installed on the new ALUKON building in Haigerloch.

MODULAR CAD SYSTEM FOR ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS | 19 MODULAR CAD SYSTEM FOR ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS FOR COMPLEX AND QUICK CONSTRUCTION Special CAD design aids for architects and planners are now available and these systems make it possible to add all individual parts of a product group to the CAD drawing in the form of modules. The CAD modular system makes the work of drawing and designing the sun protection system easier and, at the same time, provides an overview of all available versions of the system which is being used. No separate software is required for this tool and it can be used anywhere and at any time. You will find the latest version of this modular system in the architects’ section of our website. As a reference guide, we recommend our planning documents, which are divided into indi- vidual product sections and include, for example, product descriptions, illustrations and depictions of various installation situations. These can be ordered from the architects’ sec- tion of our website or alternatively downloaded as a PDF file. You can also download tender documents for all product solutions there. The ALUKON architectural consulting service supports architects in the planning of roller shutters, sun and insect protection solutions from product selection to the realisation of systems. In addition to a written, telephone or even personal consultation on site, we always offer up-to-date tender documents, certificates and drawings. As a point of contact for architects and planners, our architectural consulting service team can also be reached by telephone on +49 92 92 950-201 and will be happy to help. ALUKON live presentation Our architectural consultants will demonstrate how easy it is to use the tool at our trade fair stand in the Architect‘s Area at Fensterbau Frontale.
ALUKON MARKETING | 21 ALUKON MARKETING FOR OPTIMUM SALES SUPPORT We provide our sales partners with a comprehensive package of individual promotional items and presentation elements so that they can concentrate on their core business. This concept is based on the idea of providing practical and individual support to our specialist retailers and processors at every level of the sales process. This support starts with the design and equipment in the sales areas at the partner’s premises on the site. We offer individual presentation systems of different product groups, which can be adapted in terms of design and appearance to customer requirements. We also offer useful samples of all products, which are suitable for consultations with end customers. In this way, almost all products, whether ZipTex, insect protection or roller shutters, can be realistically demonstrated at the location on the construction site too. The classic sales documents such as brochures, advertisements, posters and campaign fly- ers can also be individually adapted with plenty of freedom in terms of design and content. ALUKON retailers therefore have the opportunity to stand out from their regional competitors with little effort. In order to clearly present the scope of our marketing support, all documents, exhibits and promotional items are summarised in our ‚marketing folder‘. The 2020 edition can now be viewed on our website in the retailer section and can also be ordered from us in brochure format. Marketing folder Sales documentation, samples, marketing material
